A1427 KIT

A1427 Kit contains a fast preamplifier (A1427) and a discriminator (A1428) assembled together. It is developed by CEA Saclay for the Cabri reactor in Cadarache and it is suitable for fission chambers, boron deposition proportional counters, 3He counters and proton recoil counters.

The A1427 Kit is designed to work with high counting rate and it is specifically studied to be not sensible to the external electromagnetic fields. CAEN provides two versions of the kit with different mechanics and connectors: one for desk use and one made for the Cabri reactor.

A1427 is a fast and low noise current preamplifier with AC coupled input. It hosts two outputs: EOUT (unipolar) that can be integrated to calculate the energy associated to the input signal and FOUT (bipolar) that can be used to calculate the rate of the input signal, discriminating the negative pole using the A1428 discriminator that is designed to fit with A1427. The discriminator thresholds is settable from -1 to -100 mV via a 10 turn rotary handle with lock.

The Kit is available in two different versions one for fission chambers (FC) the other for proton recoil detectors (PR).

We provide A1427 and A1428 separately and in the A1427 Kit configuration, that includes the A1427 and the A1428 assembled together, both for fission chambers and for proton recoil detectors.
